Karaoke Scene was hacked and a back door accessed. Someone then installed a script into the server. This script caused the server to run a constant loop that eventually caused the hard drive to burn out and crash.

We know when, what was installed and where it was installed - we do not know WHY? or WHO? We traced the IP address but unfortunately, it was bounced from one location to another. How this was done has been fixed and hopefully completely resolved.

Peter, do you have any other information on this other site. Currently I see only a main page. There is also (an informal) copyright notice on the name dating from 2003. This is a frequent attempt to back copyright a name which has not been formaly copyrighted.

I understand KS is owned by a Western (corp?) It is a shame that someone would attack KS.

Above is the info on the domain names. The top one is owned by someone in Canada - with incomplete information The site has been "under-construction" since domain was registered in Sept. of 2003.

Karaoke Scene owns SingersShowcase.com & .net these sites have been active since December 2003. The name was registered in July of 2003. The concept for this site has been in development since June of 2001 - when I took over as webmaster.

Karaoke Scene also owns & operates several other domain names and sites.

That so totally sucks that someone would hack you...but you know what they say, people with nothing better to do... I know alot of hackers, (people who went to school with me for computer science courses.) But they usually mess with msn and microsoft deals. Anywhoo...I hope you catch the person who did it, and then find out if they have a site or somethin...then crash it! muhahahah.

yes i agree, it totally does suck...but what can we do...i hope ya get them though

I do have a friend thats a big time hacker. He actually got hired by the government after hacking into a ´´very´´ important website. And is getting paid pretty darn good. But yea...anyways im babling...im glad htat everything is back to normal phillll.....

Sorry to hear this I hope you didn't lose any data. I had my site hacked a few years back and they deleted everything...I didn't have a good backup so it took me a long time to get it back to even close to how it was.
